Jumping in a little late....

It does strike me as kind of odd how much the Internet has been 
conflated with the Web.

After all, we spend so much of our time reading & writing email.  Bills 
come via email. A lot of voice & txt traffic is now via the net, and now 
we have Zoom.

There's also a big difference between the web as media, marketplace, and 
library.

Maybe those of us who build, maintain, and operate network services are 
not doing a good enough job of promoting our work.
